If you’ve seen Buffalo on the Weather Channel, you might
think we’re beset by blizzards much of the year. The truth
is, Buffalo is not the snowiest city in the country.
It’s not even the snowiest city in the state. Instead,
Buffalo Niagara is a four-season region that features:

The sunniest and driest summers of any major city in the
Northeast

More days with temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit than
with snow on the ground

Crisp, comfortable autumns that produce some of the
Northeast’s most vibrant foliage

An average winter temperature of 26 degrees Fahrenheit, just a
few degrees shy of the national average

Although this region’s snowfall is impressive, the most
severe weather typically occurs in areas south of the city, home to
several ski resorts. When storms hit, we dig out with amazing
efficiency. Winter weather that brings less-prepared cities to a
halt doesn’t disrupt business as usual in Buffalo.

Hiking, skiing, water sports and more: The area’s outdoor scene offers an array of opportunities to be active year-round. We’ve got top-rated golf courses, not to mention Lake Erie and the Niagara River.

From quaint pubs and cozy corner coffeehouses to stylish dance clubs and eclectic live-music joints, you’re sure to find a scene in one of several distinct districts that suits your style and your budget.
